The "She Said Yes!" 120 Gallon Build

[dangles]

Not much to report this week but I did do some minor coral rearranging. My torch was sufficiently settled in so I moved him to his “forever home”

Still waiting on the zoas. Some of the polyps randomly close still. No idea why. Once I get a feel for how quickly each of them grows I’ll make an island with 3 or so of them. Then put the other 2 on small islands of their own. I don’t want to put two or three together where one over grows the others.

Also, weirdly, one of my AI Prime 16 lights is acting goofy… The one on the left sometimes doesn’t turn on all the way. Then *poof* it just turns back on all the way. I’ll have to look more into it but I’m really not keen on buying a new light anytime soon

Looks awesome man! Bummer about the light, how long have you had that one?

About 18 months or so

My Prime started acting funny a while ago too. Would shut off randomly, flicker, and have only the blue channel illuminated. Turn out to be a failing power supply.

Picked this up cheap and it has been working flawlessly since!

I recorded the malfunction…

I still bet power supply. The primes are really picky about voltage and will act funny if it drops below the required 24v.

This is the thread I found when trouble shooting mine. He does a much better job of explaining it.

AI Prime 16 HD Unusual Failure Mode (Missing Color Channels) & Solution

I've been using an AI Prime 16 HD over a 10G tank in my rack for some low light corals and anemones, and a week and change ago, I had a strange fault: it would come on and act normal, but was all green. On closer inspection, it was that the light appeared green because both blue channels seemed...
